Women initially volunteered for the dual task A recent research has focused on the negotiation of labor in couples when women are pregnant. It turns out that women, in couples where it is expected that both work and the spouse has a higher income, are willing to do almost as much as women who do not work out. They do not ask and do not expect a better share.

There are also egalitarian couples, where he is also planning to invest in each person’s potential to earn money and also share the tasks of the house.

Women, says the author, play a role in defining the trajectory that family and work responsibilities will take. And this role is crucial at the beginning when couples settle the foundations of their future.
